"I'm the Artist" ~ Blog No. 13

Hello Creative Explorers and Fans,

As promised last week, I have posted Taylor's powerful and poetic new song, "I'm the Artist" under her artist name, "Vaine" ~ which makes her feel more confident.

"I'm the Artist" is inspired by 2 out of 3 assigned optional prompts: Theme: Art and Picture: A path to a nice beach. As a third optional prompt, Vaine was given 12 random words - none of which she chose to use.

Everyone gets inspired differently.

TIP: Using FREE YouTube beats is an easy way to get your juices flowing as a newbie songwriter and end up with a pro-sounding song. It is also based on this FREE Doja Cat-style danceable pop beat found on YouTube:

It's hard to believe that Vaine has been singing + songwriting for less than a year. Eventually, she plans to record it with the same chords and structure, but with original beats and production ~ to someday pitch for sync licensing!

Full disclosure: all the lyrics are written by Vaine, with the exception of 3 modified phrases - assisted by ChatGPT.

"I'M THE ARTIST"

by lyrics by Vaine (aka Taylor)

Walking along the shore,

the waves are kissing the sand.

Trying to find myself,

experience a love so grand.

With every step I take,

and every breeze that blows

I’m learning to love myself

and let my inhibitions go.

Painting my confidence.

I’m the muse,

I can choose.

How do I see my shade

Tonight I’m jade, later I’m blue

How can I explain

My life’s a blend of different hues.

It doesn’t really matter

It’s my life, and I’m the artist.

I’m the artist

Dancing down the street.

Spirits free.

Yeah, I’m the artist

I’m the artist

All of my stess release

My masterpiece

Yeah, I’m the artist

The sun is shining bright,

The beams caress my skin.

With all my progress,

I’ve embraced the strength within.

Perfection made of flaws

Evolving every day,

I may have lost myself

But I’m finding my way

It’s ok to adjust

Mold myself like clay

With every scar I bear

I know I’ll be ok

Blurry skies start to clear

Breaking free from within

Painting my confidence

I’m the muse

I can choose

How do I see my shade

Tonight I’m jade, later I’m blue

How can I explain

My life’s a blend of different hues

It doesn’t really matter

It’s my life, and I’m the artist

I’m the artist

Dancing down the street

Spirits free

Yeah, I’m the artist

I’m the artist

All of my stress release

My masterpiece

Yeah, I’m the artist
